The New York Times had a set of videos called 'Verbatim" where actors acted out scenes from real deposition transcripts. I wish they continued that, there's probably thousands of these sorts of things both in court, and depos

I'm in the InfoSec field, and bug bounties are a huge thing now (well, for years but it seems to keep gaining steam) for app security. There are people who make a living, or at least generate secondary income off it, or others do bug h
